catalyst2 | Shameless is back on

I watched Season 301 (or was it the 2005 Xmas special?) last night. Either way, I am very disappointed - this seems to have just lost its sense of humour! All the elements were there - Frank drunk, crazed and ineffectual, Debbie doing wacky things, Kev flirting (with unpredictable results), Sheila being her breathless frantic self, Lip, Ian and Carl trying to swagger and look tough, even Monica and Norma put in an appearance and yet - nothing. I just didn't find this funny. It was as if the writer had been told to put these elements in but had no idea what to do with them.

I suppose the one and only funny bit (and, when I think about it, I found this very funny) was the post-credits scene with Kev and Veronica's "lesson"!

I hope the rest of season 3 is better than this - one more of these and I'm out, I think!
